I probably will. It's not a huge sum of money (about $1800) but still think maybe it's worth pursuing in small claims court and represent myself. The jury is still out on that one though ( Razz ). Sent the demand for payment letter today certified and they will get it tomorrow. I'll just see what they say (if anything).

thanks to everyone for the advice and insight!

I suppose. But since the house was built in 2002 it makes sense that it is 17 years old as the inspection showed. Unless you're suggesting they installed a furnace manufactured 14 years earlier into their house 3 years ago?


I was referring to the reason why he stated "unsure" on his updated disclosure. I always put "unknown" on anything I'm not sure about on the seller's disclosure.

Changing the disclosure to Unsure is what I would do, unless I wanted to hire my own inspector.

I wouldn't change it to 17 years based on what the buyer's inspector said.

Before doing that I would want a 2nd opinion, and in NC wouldn't bother - just say Unsure.
